The Indian railway is one of the busiest networks in the world. It is the fourth-largest national railway network in the world, transporting 8.086 billion passengers and 1.208 billion tons of freight annually. Between 2019 and 2020, 22.15 million passengers used the Indian Railways network daily. Among these passengers who use the railways a large portion is people who travel with their families. People who travel with their families usually carry the most amount of luggage by volume. In a time where the number of porters are decreasing due to several reasons and also some passengers’ aversion towards them (the
money they charge being one reason) there is a scope to introduce a luggage carrying device which can be used by the passengers itself easily to transport their luggage through the railway station. This device will be part of a system which would be properly managed by the railways using their employees.
